Lyrics

Once, these bloodless veins held life, words a thousand months
Now the wet lights speak to me, windows glazing dark
The skeletons of faith, I draped with strips of guessing meat once
Clatter now and scratch the closet door as sleep drifts into spark

So hold these aches and pains, reminders of the fear of death
Of what's to come, or not, the line without the punch
New worries stretch the larger portions of my doubt
And jitters come to visit I had crushed or so I thought at once

Quickening, the second that the spark of life ignites
Sickening the smell of rotting failed infinite plight
Crumbling the world within it's own self cleansing shell
Man the devil that he is and earth the breadth of heaven's hell

Numbing so the speed is blistering our whims and thoughts
Curiosity will kill the lion in our hearts
Snapping on replacement parts for ripped emotions in our souls
Comforts few and far between denials set to rake the coals

Cold, stiff, mechanics twist lifeless limbs contort to fist
Dead, dry, retracting eyes substitutions dampened cries
Caged, bound, the spark depletes, the human form is obsolete
Forced the hand of evolution, we've become our own solution

The mirror cracked at one time, scattering our ashes far
These trillionth eyeblinks bring the phoenix ripping from it's scars
What once was pure enough to subtly corrupt the core
Of life and chain react, explode us into nevermore

All energy turned inwards abscessed into pressured wires
Till far too tangled webs burst into flame and tears of fire
Resonance tells the tale subconscious listens in our dreams
Whispered the pathway and the smallest lie that split forever's seams
